ESCAPE

Mudic Composed by Victor Reyes

Quartet Records present the soundtrack album of Martin Scorsese’s production ESCAPE, the new collaboration between Victor Reyes (Emmy Award winner for the score of THE NIGHT MANAGER) and multi-awarded director Rodrigo Cortés, following their previous successful films together: THE CONTESTANT, BURIED, RED LIGHTS, DOWN A DARK HALL and LOVE GETS A ROOM.

ESCAPE is an unclassifiable film. It’s not a comedy, it’s not a drama, it’s not an action film, but it’s all of them at the same time, or maybe not. It’s about a young man who wants to live in prison and will do whatever it takes to get there, raising questions such as whether those who care about him will be able to stop him from committing more and more serious crimes.

Victor Reyes also provides an unusual, unclassifiable score—highly melodic, urban, intimate, acoustic. It is performed basically with school and toy instruments (to which he adds the sound of a cello that speaks as the protagonist) along with strings, harmonium, guitar, drums, percussion and piano.

The CD comes with a lavish 16-page booklet that includes liner notes by film director Rodrigo

From the description, it sounds like a score in the style of Michael Kamen's JACK. Reyes made waves with his brilliant GRAND PIANO a few years ago, but haven't found anything on that level since. Another I will check out.

I really dig his score to RED LIGHTS and this one sounds interesting, to say the least.
Cello and Harmonium had me thinking this might be right up my street.

Haha...features kazoo (like Kamen's JACK) and squeaky toy* (like Goldsmith's BURBS).



* although this one sounds real, unlike JG's silly synth-phony.
